Mother is Queen of my Heart

2008-12-31T01:24:00.000-08:00

My mother taught me to feel, to love,
My mother taught me to cry, to laugh.
My mother taught me goodness and beauty,
I Love You Forever, Mom
You have demonstrated a sensitivity to people's needs,
You have shown me leadership,
You have taught me to be strong,
You have taught me the importance of family,
You have demonstrated unconditional love,
You have handed down to me the important values in life,
You have handed down to me the idea of achieving one's goals.
But fate snatched my Mom away suddenly. Since she was taken I have been living with her good memories.
